Sterilization
Unless otherwise specified, non-sterile products can be re-sterilized using validated steam sterilization
methods (ISO 17665 or national standards).
Satelec recommendations for packed wrenches are as follows:
Cycle type
Saturated steam -
forced air removal
(pre-vacuum)
Dry times generally range from 20 to 60 minutes due to the difference in packaging materials, steam
quality, device materials, total mass, sterilizer performance, and varying cool-down time.
The distributor and manufacturer accept no responsibility for sterilization procedures performed by
the customer that are not performed according to these Satelec recommendations.
Storage
Storage conditions for products labelled "STERILE" are printed on the packaging label. Packaged
products should be stored in a dry, clean environment, protected from direct sunlight, pests, and
extremes of temperature and humidity. Use products in the order in which they are received ("first
in, first out" principle), taking into account the expiry date indicated on the label.
